What is the oil change interval for a 2000 Ford F650 with the 7.2 Caterpillar Diesel?

And if anyone knows, how many quarts of oil does it take? What's the recommended viscosity and what would the average cost be to have the oil change performed?



ThanksWhat is the oil change interval for a 2000 Ford F650 with the 7.2 Caterpillar Diesel?I believe you refer to engine oil change interval. 10,000 kilometres if you drive the highway, much shorter interval if you drive along/through dusty places



The ambient temperature where you drive determine the viscosity of the engine oil you need. A multi-grade like SAE 0W-40 would suit a wider temperature fluctuation



If you do it yourself, it is the cost of the engine oil, the oil filter (replace this as you change the engine oil), the hand tools, that is about all
